I'll give him credit -- not because he picked VT -- but because it seems like he actually scratched a little below the surface to come up with his thoughts. Other the other hand, Bruce Feldman apparently based his opinion mostly on some Sportscenter highlights from last year and a glimpse at the returning players with numbers below# 45 and between 80 and 89.

Alright, let's just get all of it out of our systems right now and have a moratorium on threads like this. Please? We really don't need to point out "delusion" among the fan bases. We're all ramping up to the opener and we're all quick to pull the trigger on disrespect among everyone.

Don't post threads with the sole purpose of riling people up. For instance, "ESPN just said ______ about us - they suck!", "Bleacher Report sucks!", etc. are not worthy of topics \ threads.

Huh, that sounds familiar. Some clever person wrote that once.

I only read this thread to make sure you @ssholes stayed on topic no that's not it see that everyone provided interesting commentary and insight hell, that's not it, either... you didn't treat each other like a pack of rabid UVA fans fighting to get into a Ukrop's that claims to have a special on Zima. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Stuff like this just breeds sniping at one another. Now if someone writes an article that breaks down strengths and weaknesses of the teams and provides fodder for interesting discussion (did they get it right? miss the boat on anything?), I'm all aboard. But I'm bowing out of this one, unless I need to flash the badge if things get beyond a bit of sniping.

The reviews of Saturday's open scrimmage can't get here soon enough.

not claiming victim and I have shown nothing but respect. My comment to Alum07, was directed at him and i admit my words were poorly chosen. I'm not offended by Fuck, but when you direct it at someone you never meet especially at a lightweight comment (did I mention 3-6 :) ), i just sent a jab back is all. it wasn't meant for everyone.

Players don't get as overconfident as fanbases because they actually play the games.

Nevertheless, they're not immune to some level of the same sort of thinking. Let's hope that will be the case for the OSU players on Labor Day. Again.

WADR I don't think it's delusional when you consider that they smacked Wisky, 'bama, and UO to close out last season, and they return something like 13 preseason all-americans. As far as Lane's atmosphere, consider that (a) they've never been here, (b) it IS small compared to a lot of other stadiums they have been to, and (c) our home-field advantage has all but disappeared over the last several years, and it makes sense that they're disrespecting us. It'll make all the sweeter when we go back there on 9/8 to read all the "what the hell just happened?!" posts. :-)

Didn't read a lot, but only thing that sort of ruffled my feathers was how they portray the B1G stadiums/crowds to be in a league of its own. Not taking anything away from the conference as a whole, but Ohio Stadium at its peak wasn't anything out of the norm. Prior to, I'd only heard about Ohio Stadium, so seeing it in person was underwhelming - fans seemed even almost bemused that they had to play us.

Which makes me happy they get to come to Lane and experience an opponent's venue outside of the B1G...

Edit: Poor composition in my previous screenshot. Trying to point out the fan sh*ttin' his pants around Hokies fans.

I upvoted you to offset any losses. This thing will be played out on the field, and I don't think the nervousness of internet fans will come to play in it much. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain, so our position, as a whole, is more of anxiously waiting than nervous. I'm more worried about the weather and finding a parking space at this point than the outcome of the game. Should be a good one.
